The C2's look to be hard to find (and I'm still wondering if they are still in production and not replaced by the C4). Here's a place I did find:

Racing Hart C2

Looks like about $640 per wheel.

As far as other Racing Hart wheels:

There are many Mesh style wheels around. While they may not have "Racing Hart" on them, they are much more affordable if that's what you are looking for...

I'm just looking for that Style, I don't care about the brand. I just don't want to buy 25 pound wheels.

The only other ones I've found that are similar style and not a rediculous price, and weigh around 22-23 pounds a wheel is the ASA AR1

Other than that, I haven't found anything else I like.

Any suggestions?

Hate to break it to you, but light, strong, popular style and cheap will never all go together.

What size are you looking for? If you are looking for 18's, it's not uncommon for them to be around 22 lbs.

Yea I know, unfortunately.

As long as the 18's are between 20-23 pounds a wheel I don't mind, I mean that's what I would expect them to weigh. But 25 pounds a wheel is a bit rediculous on one of these little cars.

I'm going to keep my stock wheels and put slicks on the rear tires anyway for going to the drag strip, so it's not that big of a deal, but I don't want it to be a complete dog on the street.

Besides the ASA AR1 and the ADR M-Sport wheels, are they any others in this style you know of between 22-23 pounds a wheel in the 18 inch size that are a somewhat decent price (below $350 a wheel)

I've searched around and haven't found a whole lot

If all you are going to do is drive on the street with them, you aren't going to notice a difference. Here's a good start:

IMO, I would stay away from mesh wheels. They are a pain to clean.

Thanks bud

Yea I know they suck to clean, believe me I love to clean the 5 spoke rims on our Corvette. Takes 2 seconds, this style rim just looks so nice on a 7

I think you'd be real happy with the ASA AR1, I am. It's harder to keep the lip clean than the mesh to me.

Anyone figure out if there is a knock off or not? If not I'm probably going with the ASA AR1 or AR2
